Bicycling.com: The Few, The Proud

Bicycling.com profiles the four Americans - three of which are Team Garmin-Chipotle H3O riders - in a preview to next week’s Tour de France start. Read Bicycling’s take on Christian Vande Velde, Danny Pate and Will Frischkorn.

From the feature: “Frischkorn will shelter team leaders, set pace, carry bottles and food and generally help out in any way possible. The thanks he’ll get will be, in all likelihood, unspectacular finishes, a growing sense of dog-tired fatigue, and some of the singular experiences of his lifetime.”
